Chapter 3, I will perform a magic trick for you
The task of owning a restaurant has been completed. However, due to the host's additional request to renovate areas outside the restaurant, the rewards for this task have been offset. The system has issued a new task: learn the first dish—Yangzhou Fried Rice. The task duration is three days. Once the host is ready, they can click to enter the Chef's Trial Arena for the challenge. The reward for this task is an increase of 0.5 in physical fitness, while the penalty for failure is a decrease of 0.5 in physical fitness. The system's voice echoed once again.
Moreover, he did not sense much hostility from this system; the so-called punishment was more about supervising him to diligently learn cooking and to achieve the chef mission as soon as possible
Amy opened her eyes, her small face filled with an expression of anticipation
Good. Magg's smile revealed that, after all, food is the most important thing
Is it true? Amy slightly parted her lips, seemingly unable to believe it
Is this a baked tile? Is it my teeth or the cake that got bitten off? After biting it, it cuts my mouth; I want to swallow it but it gets stuck in my throat. This could really be used to poison someone, right? Yet it can still sell hundreds a day! The culinary culture of this world seems to be somewhat desolate! No, it's stuck in my throat!" Magg stared wide-eyed, threw the crispy sweet cake on the table, and rushed to the kitchen sink, covering his throat.
"Now, let's take a look at our new home," said Mag, taking the two crispy cookies from Amy's hand. He stood up, holding her small hand, and turned with a sense of anticipation towards the direction of the small building.
Here it is!" Mag reluctantly suppressed the impulse to push open the door in his mind, sat down opposite Amy, handed her a cake, and said with a smile: "Here, try the sweet and crispy cake that our little rice loves to eat.
Maggs casually turned off the light outside the door, just as two people entered. At that moment, a short, bearded dwarf stumbled out from the adjacent house, drunkenly looking around and muttering: "Which foolish troll has come here to dance again! Those damned fellows, do they not let anyone sleep..." After saying this, he turned around and went back inside, slamming the door with a bang.
It is still a two-story building, but it has now transformed from a rickety two-story wooden house into a two-story villa in European style. On the side facing the square, there are floor-to-ceiling windows, through which one can see the dining room illuminated by European crystal chandeliers, exuding comfort and elegance
Wow~~ Amy's mouth was wide open as she stared at the suddenly transformed house, which under the lights looked as magnificent as a palace. After a while, she turned her head to look at McG and exclaimed happily, "Father, did you really create this? It's such a beautiful house, like a crystal palace! And there are glowing stones! Father is amazing!"
Close your eyes and count down from thirty. " McGonagall smiled and nodded
Hmm, yes, Father wants to build a beautiful big house for Xiaomi, and also a lovely restaurant, where he will prepare many delicious dishes for you every day. Mag gently said, indeed a little foodie
"Is it really that delicious?" Magge expressed some doubt, but seeing Amy eat with such enthusiasm was truly appetizing. Unable to resist, she picked up a biscuit and took a hearty bite, chewed a few times, and then froze in astonishment.
Maggie looked at Amy with gentle eyes, listening to her soft voice counting down. The ground trembled slightly, and occasionally there were sounds of objects falling behind her, yet she did not turn to look.
Magge suddenly stopped in his tracks, and a door appeared in his mind, with four gleaming golden characters on it: Yangzhou Fried Rice, which should be the so-called Chef's Trial Arena
Although it is unclear what level this physical fitness of +0.5 can achieve, the system should not let him down. After all, it is just Yangzhou fried rice; how difficult can a bowl of fried rice be
"Father, are you here to pick up Amy?" Amy's soft and adorable voice came from behind.
The decoration style of the restaurant has been decided, while the decoration style of the second floor has been chosen to resemble that of his previous home, characterized by understated luxury and comfort. The second floor consists of three rooms, one toilet, and one bathroom. Amy's room has been selected to feature a soft pink decoration style, confirmed directly with the system.
A beam of warm light shone from the entrance, perfectly illuminating two figures, one large and one small, standing at the door
The system fell into silence, as if in contemplation. After a while, the system's voice finally resumed: "In light of the high danger level of the building, the system analysis has decided to reconstruct the small building and carry out renovations. Please confirm the renovation style, host."
Mag reluctantly touched his chin with his right hand, gazing at the dilapidated staircase and the dark second floor. He thought of the bed that had just a bit of straw on it; there was no way to stay here tonight. He could not let his precious daughter suffer any longer. Tonight, he must improve their quality of life
In that case... Mag's eyes turned, and in her mind, she spoke in a nonchalant tone: "System, I believe your statement is incorrect. I am providing this entire building as a restaurant space, so you must renovate the whole place. I cannot accept the opening of a restaurant with such inconsistent styles. Moreover, if the second floor is not renovated and reinforced, and a brick falls and kills a customer, that would be a huge problem. If it doesn't kill anyone, that would be even worse; I might end up being killed by someone who can't even be killed by a drill. Then what would I learn about cooking, and how could I become a culinary god? You can handle it as you see fit."
Father ... ... Is this really our home?" Amy stood at the door, gazing at the magnificent dining room, looking up at Meg, still somewhat in disbelief.
When he was in Yangzhou, he had tried several authentic Yangzhou fried rice establishments, but it seemed that he rated them rather poorly. To be honest, the taste of the fried rice was quite good; it was just that he had a habit of nitpicking, which made it difficult for him to enjoy. It is said that one old brand even closed for a period after receiving his review, but such incidents happened too frequently for him to pay much attention.
Thirty, twenty-nine ... ... '' Amy obediently closed her eyes and began to count.
The system's voice sounded: "The time required for reconstruction and renovation is thirty seconds. Please leave the room, the countdown will begin in one minute..."
Well, from now on this will be our home, and it will also be a restaurant. " Magge nodded with a smile, indeed the feeling of being admired by his little girl is more delightful than anything else
As Magge turned around, Amy was holding two large brown pancakes, one in each hand, looking up at him with her head tilted back. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her small face was filled with joy and excitement. Her father had never come out to pick her up before, but today it seemed he had specially come downstairs to greet her.
"Hmm, Father is the most powerful!" Amy rubbed her head against Mag's hand and happily jumped through the door
The system's voice announced: This system only provides restaurant decoration, excluding areas outside the restaurant
Thirty seconds is enough! Magg was momentarily taken aback, but upon hearing the sixty-second countdown, he hurriedly and slowly made his way to the door, struggling a bit to step over the threshold before turning back to close the door. The sky outside had already darkened.
She had never seen such a beautiful house before, with its smooth and even floors, dazzling crystal chandeliers, and neatly arranged brand new tables and chairs. On the table, there was also an exquisite cutlery box, and further inside was a long counter that was taller than she was, but she could not see what was inside it.
However, due to the previous commotion caused by the shaking, Mag raised Amy's hand and pushed the door open, saying, "Let's go home first; those things can be explained to you slowly by your father later."
The countdown of thirty has passed in the blink of an eye
Hmm. Amy held the cake with both hands close to her face, opened her cherry-like mouth, and took a bite, producing a crisp sound. Then she happily chewed away, making a delightful crunching noise, resembling a little hamster, enjoying the sweet taste, looking very adorable
"Magic?" Amy looked up at Mag with some confusion, but soon her eyes brightened as she said, "Is it magic? Can Father create many, many delicious things?"
Mag's heart was secretly delighted; indeed, such systems can still be negotiated. It would be quite dull to be led by the nose by it. However, on the surface, he still maintained a rather calm demeanor
Great! Before Mag got to finish his words, Amy had already run outside, spreading her arms and running a circle in the restaurant, then sitting down at a table at the far end, waving at Mag and saying: "Father, let's sit here and eat the crispy cookies, Xiao Mi is hungry"
Maggie took a close look at the sweet and crispy cake, which was approximately the size of an adult's palm, about 1 centimeter thick. It seemed to be made of flour wrapped around corn, mung beans, potatoes, and a mix of various coarse grains that had been roasted in a charcoal oven, resembling a rough tile when held in hand
Of course, what matters more to Mag is the success reward mentioned by the system. What he is most eager to improve now is his physical condition. In his current state, let alone cooking, he can't even hold a kitchen knife steadily. He didn't expect the system to arrange a task reward for enhancing his body so quickly, and his mood suddenly became a bit excited
Of course. "Maggie nodded with a smile and waved her hand, saying: 'This is our new home. The first floor can be a restaurant, and the second floor is where we will live..."
"Father?" Amy looked at Meg, who was standing there in a daze, with some confusion.
Indeed, I have come to pick up Xiaomi, and I also want to perform a magic trick for Xiaomi. Magg smiled as he crouched down, embracing Amy gently in his arms
